How do I find my OceanBase Access Key and Secret?

Log in to your OceanBase Cloud console, go to [Security] → [Access Keys], and you will find your unique Access Key ID and Secret Key there. Ensure you keep them confidential.

Can I list databases for a specific tenant through this server?

Yes. Use the `list_databases` tool with the cluster ID and tenant ID. Your agent will retrieve the full list of logical databases belonging to that specific resource pool.

Is it possible to check organization-wide resource usage?

Yes! Use the `get_resource_stats` tool to retrieve aggregate statistics across your OceanBase account, helping you monitor total CPU, memory, and storage consumption.

About OceanBase MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire database infrastructure with OceanBase, the premier enterprise distributed relational database. By connecting OceanBase to your agent, you transform complex cluster management, tenant resource allocation, and database auditing into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your database clusters, retrieve detailed configuration for tenants, monitor resource usage statistics, and browse available databases without you ever needing to navigate the OceanBase Cloud console. Whether you are conducting a capacity planning review or auditing database health across a global deployment, your agent acts as a real-time database reliability assistant, keeping your data infrastructure accurate and your systems performant.

Cursor's Agent mode turns OceanBase into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from OceanBase and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Cluster Orchestration — List all database clusters and retrieve detailed configuration and status information.
Tenant Management — Browse logical tenants within clusters and retrieve detailed resource allocation metadata.
Database Auditing — List all databases within specific tenants to identify data assets and structures.
Resource Monitoring — Retrieve aggregate resource usage statistics to audit system performance and capacity.
Organization Insights — Browse projects, instances, and workspaces to maintain a unified view of your database ecosystem.

The OceanBase MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OceanBase + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating OceanBase MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
